Meet the Teacher

Dear Families,

I hope you had a fun-filled summer and that you are as excited as I am about starting the new school year! I would like to take this opportunity to introduce myself to the new families joining us this year and a big welcome back to the returning ones! My name is Amanda Bedford-Hicks and I am one of the Special Education Teachers. I look forward to working with you and your child so that together we can help your child reach their goals!

I believe that communication is key to a great parent/teacher relationship. I encourage you to contact me at any time if you have any questions or concerns. The best way to reach me is through class dojo. You can also email me at bedfordhicks.am@vcpusd.org.
